Clawing their way out of the dank blackness of their riff research
laboratory and hungry for the flesh of new twisted listeners, Gonga
bring forth a new offering – a Concrescence. In the five years
since their last outpouring of un-anchored HeavyRock, Transmigration,
Gonga managed to lose/fire/upset every bass player in the region.
Brothers Thomas (dramatic battery) and George (riff philosophy) having
survived war and mental abuse from the outside world found a new
phenomenon walking the golden triangle right in front of their (third)
eyes; a specialist in detail – you could say a time-stretch
professional. And so, Latch self-sacrificed himself to the group before
he even joined; the perfect combination of Geezer Butler and Cliff
Burton muttering arcane wisdom. A trinity of Earth forms was
instantly created; bull, goat, ram. The strength of the triangle allowed
the 3 to set about HeavyRock construction. Without singer the aim
became to create aural landscapes for band and listener to use as a
launchpad for remote viewing, for mental and spiritual enlightenment and
for emotional therapy. One could refer to it as instrumental HeavyRock
for the philosophical connoisseur. Riff research and late night
experimentations led the trio into unexplored territories of voiceless
riff/rhythm. Years passed and the brew grew strong, as did the urge to
commit the aural paintings to vinyl. Six tracks, two sides - Concrescence, a region of complexity in comparison to its surroundings. Gonga hail from Bristol, UK. This is their third album. They have
toured with Mondo Generator and High On Fire and have performed at DunaJam in Sardinia,
Glastonbury and Download Festivals as well as recording a Maida Vale
session for Zane Lowe (Radio 1). Their favourite colour is black or
green or something probably.
